Chapter 3
"So Mr. Medina how's it to have a lady friend?" Lorelai giggled. Rory had just seen them to the airport with Lorelai's parents and Max's. "It feels just fine now I finally have someone to cook for." Lorelai giggled. "Yes you do indeed. I can't wait to see Italy." Lorelai said. "I can't wait to show you. Also I was thinking about picking a country and buying a summer home that we could go to and Rory could bring he friends." Max said. "You're the best thing that ever happened to us." Lorelai said. "Good. How's Rory adjusting? She seemed a little uncomfortable at the airport." Max said. "She's fine her mother will be gone for a month. That's all she's just used to having me around." Lorelai said. Lorelai fell asleep. Max pressed the button for the stewardess and put two pillows under her head.
Lorelai shifted in her sleep. Luke's kiss replayed in her dream. Lorelai opened her eyes in cold sweat. She hadn't even gotten a chance to talk to Sookie yet. "You all right?" Max asked putting a book mark in his book and looking closely at her. "Yes I'm fine." Lorelai lied. "Are you sure?" Max asked. "Yes I just need to call Rory soon that's all." Max still looked concerned.
Rory grabbed her coat and walked out of the empty Gilmore house. She had to go talk to someone but she certainly wasn't going to talk to her grandparents. Rory loved them she did but this was something that Lorelai would not want shared with them. Rory wondered if her mom even knew she knew. Lorelai had been trying very unsuccessfully act like all was good and normal hell even Max had noticed. He gave Rory some money for while they were away and then asked her if anything was wrong with her mother. Rory denied though she felt guilty from keeping it from him.
Luke walked outside the diner. The kiss hadn't meant anything. It couldn't mean anything. Lorelai for god's sake was now a married woman. Mrs. Max Medina. How he loathed that man. Now Lorelai would never know how he felt about her. Well she might have inkling if she ignored it which she was.
Rory looked up as she bumped into Luke. "Don't ever do what you did to my mom again. She's married." Luke looked surprised. "You saw?" Luke asked. "I'm surprised the whole wedding party didn't see." Rory shot at him. "I'm sorry I didn't mean." "I know you didn't mean to Luke but it happened stay away from her she's happy." "RORY I'm SORRY." Luke said. Rory shook her head angrily and went to Lane's.
Mrs. Kim opened the door. She was starting to be a little nice to Rory now that Lorelai was a married woman. But not enough to invite her to dinner ever.
"Wow I'd thought you'd be in school." Lane said as they walked upstairs. They sat on the bed Lane opened her closet doors where she had a whole hidden room from her mother complete with a disco ball. "I need to talk. I can't concentrate this is too important." Rory said. "Okay what happened on the couch close the doors." "I saw Luke kiss my mom." "When?" Lane screamed in shock. "The night of the reception they were talking about something and then I saw him kiss her." "Now did you see him start it? Or did you see her do it?" "Oh it was him." "Was it enjoyed by her?" "God I hope not. Lane we'll have to stop going to Luke's. Max cannot find out about this." "Don't worry I'll keep it a secret, This is big man. I mean we've always know Luke loves your mom but does she love him?" "She always denies it but she may." Rory said. "Does you're mom keep a journal?" "Lorelai doesn't write volitarily." Rory reminded her. "Mother's have secrets too." Lane reminded her. "Including this one." Rory said. "Lane! It's time for dinner we're having Tofu salad." Mrs. Kim called up the stairs.
Rory left Lane and walked back to her house. She missed Lorelai. She called Emily. "Grandma?" Rory asked. "Yes dear what is it?" Emily asked. "Can I stay with you while mom is gone?" Rory asked. "Yes it is. We'll have our driver come pick you up." "It's not important." "Of course it is what are you going to do walk here? Come on. He'll be there in forty minutes." Emily said. "Begin packing." Emily reminded her. Rory hung up the phone. She stared at herself in the mirror. It was just a kiss there was no reason they had to tell Max at all right? As she began packing the huge guilty thing in her stomach began growing.
Emily came for her at the door. "Do you have a coat?" Emily asked her. "Yes Grandma." "Toothbrush toothpaste?" "Yes Grandma." "All right come on. You have everything." "Even a bathing suit." Rory told her. "Good girl come on."
